Just a quickie today. I've been extremely busy but I managed to get some angel wings tatted last night for a family member. It's from Vida Sunderman's book that I've mentioned before. She actually has a tatted angel in the book but I just tatted the wings in size 50 DMC cordonnette. She cut and ties each round but I climbed out of the first round with a mock picot followed by a split ring. Then I climbed out of that round with a split chain. It's really pretty easy without the climbing out.
If you look closely you can see where I made a mistake at the beginning. On one wing, I started out with a ring of 8 picots with only 1 ds between. The directions actually say to use 2 ds, and I caught that on the second wing.
I'm nearly done with the tatted bridal hanky but don't have a photo handy to show. I also got a personalized card from Tami at Angelic Creations to put the hanky in. I'll show it later too.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure where to comment.
But I wanted to thank you for coming over and seeing my cowboy dishes and lovely Cowgirly napkins.
Thanks for letting me know about the tatting.
I see the difference now on your blog.
I'll press the napkins really good this week when I wash them and scan again flat.
Maybe someone can figure it out.
I really don't care I think they are pretty.
I hope you have a Blessed weekend.
Thanks again for coming by. And come back anytime I talk about different things everyday!
I love all things vintage and love all kinds of crafting,sewing and quilting. And my family and animals. You really never what I will talk about.
I'll check out your other blogs too.
Blessings,
Sherry
Now Gina, if you hadn't have mentioned the mistake I would never have noticed! Little mistakes show that our tatting pieces are hand made and not by machine! ;-)
